The winter weather this Christmas season here in Germany is much more spring-like than the years before and we have been far away from snow and frost we generally can expect this time of the year.

So I have a kind of White Snowflake for you I took recently at the stud and equestrian farm "Lerchenhof" in the town of Muensingen.

The stud and equestrian farm Lerchenhof organized a kind of Christmas party together with all the kids and teenagers taking riding lessons there. And of course the families and friends were invited to celebrate together with their youngsters.

At the end of this varied day Santa Claus arrived on a horse-drawn carriage...

...and dispensed little gifts to the kids!

A Merry Christmas anda prosperous and peaceful New Year 2016to all of you, dear friends!

Beautiful images. I especially like the first one. Here in Utah I am looking out my window at a peaceful winter scene. It has been snowing all day, and soon we will take the grandkids sledding. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2016.

Dear Uwe - I don’t miss white Christmas as I haven’t experienced it, but I really long for it. Looks like we experience the similar weather, last week Indian Summer days, but today it’s chilly and raining. The white horse is so beautiful, I like all the shots of him. The horse which substitutes for reindeer is so charming and the long white beard of the Santa Clause is so impressive. The Christmas party is so much fun to see. I’m amazed how boldly and elegantly (especially the 5th) the youngsters can ride. Wish you and your family a heart-warming Christmas and a healthy and peaceful happy New Year.

Greetings from the Philippines, my dear friend Uwe! Wishing you had a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year coming your way! I pray for your best of health and you and your loved once's happiness! Thank you so much for sharing this traditional and meaningful celebration with our dear old Santa Claus! Hope to hear from you soon!
